Speedy deletion nomination of InvitedHome


A tag has been placed on InvitedHome, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. HeyLetgoletgo (talk) 08:10, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Advice on editing
Seeing your very first contribution to Wikipedia threatened with deletion must be a discouraging experience, and so I am writing to give you some advice on how to avoid seeing work you have put time and effort into deleted. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

I see that at Talk:InvitedHome you wrote "This page is not unambiguously promotional, because there are no links to the website anywhere in this article." However, promotional editing covers a much wider range of things than just linking to the company's web site. I don't think the article you created was so promotional that speedy deletion would be justified, but I do think the wording could be made rather more neutral: for example, expressions such as "with over 200 handpicked homes" and "invokes the exclusive management of upmarket homes" do read more like marketing copy than like a neutral encyclopaedia account. I have moved the page to Draft:InvitedHome rather than immediately deleting it, to allow a chance for improvement. If you decide to work on improving the article you can click the button labelled :Submit your draft for review" to ask for an experienced editor to review the draft and either accept it as an article or give you information as to why it is still considered unsuitable. However, it is perfectly possible that the draft will be declined, even if the promotional tone is cleaned up, as the reviewer may think there are other problems. My advice, therefore, is to leave it until you have more experience, as I suggested above, and then come back to it if you like.
